I Needed to Trust My Parents
09/08/2015


My biggest regret in life is ignoring the advice and pleas from my mother and father to not marry my first husband. They were right about everything. Everything they cautioned me about was spot on. After 22 months of wedded disaster, I filed for divorce. 

In about 2 years, I met the man I should have married. I brought him home to meet my parents on our second date. If they liked him, I planned on having a third date. If they didn't like him, I would never see him again. 

I learned my lesson the hard way. I needed to trust my parents' wisdom from having lived so much longer than I, realizing they were better judges of character. We have been happily married for 35 years. Mom and Dad really do know best!
